Speechless as he was, Chu Ge didn't say anything and went straight to the kitchen to make breakfast.
From his rich experience in dealing with women over the years, he had long concluded a truth.
That is, unless necessary, it's best not to reason with women. When women start being unreasonable, it can really be too much for men to handle. You say one thing, and they might immediately return you with ten replies.
Qin Ruojing and Tong Yaqi could say whatever they like, it didn't matter. No matter how much they talk, whom he wants to be with and in what manner is his own business. There's no need, and it's not their place, for others to interfere.
After Chu Ge finished making breakfast, Qin Ruojing and Tong Yaqi had also finished putting on their makeup. Both beauties looked very professional, restoring their usual elegant temperament, completely different from when they were joking around earlier.
Tong Yaqi was wearing Qin Ruojing's stockings. Her own pair had been accidentally torn in her embarrassment after hearing Qin Ruojing's words in the morning.
Sitting by the dining table, Chu Ge suddenly remembered a vendor's slogan he heard a few days ago while passing by a street stall.
"Stockings, stockings, ten yuan for three pairs, cheap and not expensive, really a bargain, ten yuan for three pairs! You won't feel bad if they get torn!"
Thinking of this, Chu Ge couldn't help but chuckle. Noticing his gaze and the expression on his face, Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at him, "What are you laughing about? Are you thinking naughty thoughts again?"
Chu Ge shook his head, "No, I just think Director Tong looks good wearing your stockings too."
Tong Yaqi was stunned. She really didn't expect Chu Ge to instantly recognize that these were Qin Ruojing's stockings. After all, Chu Ge hadn't seen her tear her stockings, and this pair was exactly the same style as the one she ruined.
"Looks like this guy is extremely familiar with everything about the Chairman. Is what the Chairman said just now true? Is there really nothing going on between them?"
Although Tong Yaqi felt a bit confused again, since the topic was already closed, she didn't bring it up again. After making a call to all the ministers at Tianjiao Film and Television to inform them to come to work early today, she started eating breakfast while talking to Qin Ruojing about He Qing visiting Tianjiao Film and Television.
Because they needed to prepare and arrange some things in advance, at exactly seven o'clock, Chu Ge drove Qin Ruojing and Tong Yaqi to the Tianjiao Building.
Last night, since Tong Yaqi knew she would be drinking, she didn't drive. Now it was just right to discuss business with Qin Ruojing on the way.
Upon arriving at the Tianjiao Building, as Chu Ge stepped out of the car, he was immediately greeted with envious glances. In just one day, word had spread throughout the building that he had become the Chairman's driver and secretary.
If these people knew that Chu Ge was not only the Chairman's driver and secretary but had also shared a bed with her more than once, and even slept in the same room with Tianjiao Film and Television's Administrative Director Tong Yaqi the day before at the Chairman's home, they'd probably be shocked speechless.
This time, Qin Ruojing didn't let Chu Ge go back to the Chairman's office with her but sent him to Tianjiao Film and Television instead to check if there was anything missing in the work handover.
After taking the spare key from Tong Yaqi for the Operation Management Department, Chu Ge opened the door and felt a sense of familiarity as soon as he entered. His position hadn't changed, and colorful ornamental fish were swimming energetically in the bathtub, with the clivia pots emitting a pleasant, delicate fragrance.
Sitting back in his old seat, Chu Ge glanced around the room and suddenly noticed that there was an extra waste bin next to Lu Gang's desk. All the trash was thrown into this extra bin, leaving the trash bag he had replaced for Lu Gang perfectly clean.
Seeing this, Chu Ge couldn't help but find it amusing. What was Lu Gang up to? Was he treating the trash bin Chu Ge had changed for him as a treasure?
Besides being amused, Chu Ge also felt a warmth in his heart. Although this was a tiny gesture, it was enough to prove that Lu Gang, who used to find him thoroughly unpleasant, now truly regarded him as a friend.
After turning on the computer, Chu Ge started playing Minesweeper to pass the time.
Just after breaking one of his own records, a series of footsteps sounded in the hallway, and the door was pushed open.
Turning around, Chu Ge met Mo Xiaoran's gaze.
"Chu... Vice Minister Chu?"
Seemingly unable to believe his eyes, Mo Xiaoran stood at the door, stunned for several seconds before hesitantly calling out.
Chu Ge gave a slight smile, "Xiaoran, morning."
"M-Morning..."
Even though she heard Chu Ge's voice in her ears, Mo Xiaoran still stood dumbfounded, her speech becoming a bit stuttered.
"What's the matter? It's only been a short while, and you don't recognize me?"
Seeing Mo Xiaoran's dumbfounded expression, Chu Ge couldn't help but tease her with a smile.
"No, no, I..."
Mo Xiaoran was at a loss, not knowing what to say, when suddenly a voice came from behind her.
"Huh? Open so early? Xiaoran, who are you talking to?"
Feifei walked out of the elevator and immediately saw Mo Xiaoran standing at the office door, smiling as she greeted her.
"I... no, it's... Vice Minister Chu is here..."
Feeling quite excited, Mo Xiaoran turned back to meet Xia Feifei's gaze, still a bit at a loss for words.
"Who? Vice Minister Chu? Xiaoran, you must really miss him to have a hallucination? Our Young Master Chu is now the driver's secretary for the chairman, how could he possibly be here early to open the door for us?"
The corridor was empty, and Xia Feifei spoke without any reservations, feeling a bit lonely but maintaining her smile.
In just a moment, Xia Feifei walked to the door, looked inside, and found Chu Ge really sitting there, looking at her with amusement, and she froze at once, reacting just like Mo Xiaoran did moments ago.
"Feifei, from your tone, it sounds like you're not very welcoming, huh? I'm hurt, you know?" Chu Ge teased with his signature smile.
"No, you, oh gosh, what's going on here? Am I hallucinating too?"
Feifei rubbed her eyes, quickly walked into the office, approached Chu Ge, looked him up and down, and then, under Chu Ge's amused gaze, pinched his arm and placed her hands on his face, pulling it apart.
"Hey? It doesn't seem like a hallucination?"
Seeing Feifei's earnest self-talking manner, Chu Ge knew she was being playful and couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, stop pretending. If you stretch my handsome face long, making it less charming and affecting my chances to find a wife, I'll resent you forever, alright?"
Having her act seen through by Chu Ge, Xia Feifei didn't feel shy or awkward, giggling as she said, "No worries, if Young Master Chu doesn't mind, there's always me and Xiaoran, right? At worst, the two of us will pledge ourselves to you. She on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, me on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday you can take a break and find someone else. How does that sound?"
Hearing Feifei say this, Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh heartily. Although the joke seemed to reveal some true feelings, Chu Ge didn't take it too seriously.
In Chu Ge's view, since he wasn't in the Operation Management Department anymore, his interactions with these two beauties would decrease. Over time, their feelings would fade. Now that Feifei was joking with him, he thought it best to respond in kind.
Feigning contemplation, Chu Ge nodded thoughtfully, "I think this idea's not bad, but I'm not sure if Xiaoran will agree?"
Xia Feifei immediately turned to Mo Xiaoran, "Xiaoran, Young Master Chu has agreed, aren't you going to seize the opportunity?"
Mo Xiaoran clearly felt embarrassed, finding it hard to accept such jokes, stammering for a while before diverting the topic.
"Vice Minister Chu, weren't you going to be the secretary and driver for the chairman? How come you're here so early?"
"Oh, I drove for the chairman for a day, and she said my driving was too charming, and as soon as I stepped out of the car people asked for my autograph, affecting her normal work, so she sent me back here to work."
Chu Ge spoke nonsense with a straight face, as if it were true, making the two girls laugh, and the bit of awkwardness in Mo Xiaoran's heart dissipated.
"Chu Shao, stop teasing. A man as outstanding as you will shine like gold even by the chairman's side. She surely wouldn't bear to let you come back. Seriously now, you're just here temporarily, right?"
Chu Ge was about to say more nonsense when his phone suddenly rang. Apologetically smiling at Feifei, he answered it, as soon as he did, he heard an excited and somewhat nervous voice from Qin Ruojing.
"Chu Ge, Miss He just called me, come downstairs now, let's go pick her up."
Hearing Qin Ruojing's voice, he felt somewhat conflicted, but remembering that He Qing had already seen him yesterday and made no particular gestures, there shouldn't be any issues, so he just said "Hmm" and hung up.
"Young Master Chu, the chairman called you, right?"
Feifei's voice held a bit of helplessness, and Mo Xiaoran's face also showed faint disappointment.
Chu Ge lightly chuckled and nodded, "I'll come see you guys again when I have time. Gotta go now."
Just as he got up from the chair, Feifei joked, "Young Master Chu, you'll be the favorite by the chairman's side soon. How will you have so much free time to come see us? Last time your farewell party got interrupted, so we didn't get to chat properly. How about a goodbye hug? Just symbolically, before you leave?"
Chu Ge touched his nose; Feifei's request was quite reasonable, especially with Mo Xiaoran present. Refusing would be too hard on Feifei and not treating her as a friend.
So… should he agree or not?
